Therefore, it could be deduced that the immortals knew of his arrival in the Immortal Realm.
The one who abducted Gouzi was undoubtedly one of them.
Wan Lei was not worried about Gouzi’s safety after being taken, because Gouzi had said that those few people were its good friends.
As for why they abducted Gouzi, Wan Lei was unsure, but he had thought of a few possibilities.
First, those immortals missed their friend and took Gouzi to catch up.
Second, Gouzi’s true form was originally a magic treasure belonging to one of them, and it was now returned to its rightful owner.
Third, those immortals did not want him to know information about them, so they abducted Gouzi to continue keeping him in the dark, preventing him from knowing too much.
Thinking of this, a smile crept onto Wan Lei’s lips. Those immortals might not know that he, Wan Lei, could infer so much from these scant clues and fragmented threads.
However, Wan Lei then reconsidered, feeling something was amiss.
Gouzi had mentioned that among those people was a supremely intelligent sage, as wise as the vast ocean. If he didn’t want him to know these things, why would he leave so many clues and loopholes for him to guess?
Wan Lei felt a chill of unease.
Could it be that the sage intentionally left so many clues for him to guess, so that he would go to the Five Elements Hall?
Was he luring him to the Five Elements Hall?
Or perhaps, giving him a reason to go to the Five Elements Hall?
So that his reason for cultivating in the Five Elements Hall would be more plausible?
This way, they could continue to nurture and train him?
Wan Lei could only think of this one possibility.
Wan Lei did not object to this. Even without all these events, after arriving in the Immortal Realm and learning that the Five Elements Hall was a sacred place for cultivation, gathering the most outstanding individuals from the entire positive plane, he would have gone anyway and found a way to join the Five Elements Hall.
After all, who wouldn't want to go to a good place? Every year, people scrambled to join the Five Elements Hall.
Well, they must have wanted to increase the difficulty for him and not let him know they were in the Five Elements Hall so early. Heh, these immortals were so mischievous, acting like possessed divas.
After figuring this out, Wan Lei became less anxious. Since Gouzi was not in danger, he might as well tour the Immortal Realm more and understand this world.
As for the Five Elements Hall, heh, the more they wanted him to go, the less he would. He had been led by the nose all these years; did they still expect him to listen to them now?
He would stall for time. No rush, he would go when he felt like it.
As for the four children in front of him, their appearance was quite peculiar, and Wan Lei was very curious about their origins.
Were they from the Five Elements Hall? What were their parents’ names? Could they use the Wind Blade Escape Technique? Did they know any immortals who had been to the Thunderwind Realm?
These were all things Wan Lei was very eager to know.
He suspected that these four children were also arranged by those immortals.
After all, they had been surprised when they heard his and Xiao Yu’s names.
But if they were sent by those immortals, they should have known him, so why were they surprised?
He couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t figure it out.
Wan Lei, now afflicted with an immortal version of PTSD, saw everyone as someone sent to increase his difficulty.
Regardless, the parents or elder relatives of these children were definitely high-ranking officials in the Five Elements Hall. It was always good to maintain good relations; perhaps he could extract some internal information about the Five Elements Hall from them later. If all else failed, he could ask them to inquire if Gouzi was in the Five Elements Hall.
Thus, along the way, he looked at Wan Qianxin with a rather meaningful gaze.
This left Wan Qianxin utterly bewildered. Why was this damn guy staring at him like that?
If this didn’t work out, he’d find a different teammate. He’d finally found a few people he didn’t mind, and wanted to form a team, but he’d run into such a strange person.
Was he coveting my beauty? Don’t do that. I’ve watched plenty of adult movies at home. I’m a man who aims to conquer the world, and I don’t want to be a troublemaker.
With this thought, Wan Qianxin distanced himself from Wan Lei while flying, moving closer to Bao Bao, wanting to reaffirm his sexual orientation.
“Xin Xin, why have you been squeezing me?”
After flying for a while, Bao Bao suddenly realized she was being pushed further to the edge and noticed that Wan Qianxin had been pushing her. She couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows slightly.
“It’s nothing, it’s healthier to squeeze.”
Wan Qianxin said this with a straight face and a steady heart.
Seeing this, Xia Yu Bing quietly approached Han Xiao Yun and asked furtively,
“Do you think Xin Xin has a crush on Bao Bao?”
Han Xiao Yun was startled. Her playful big eyes stared intently at Wan Qianxin and Bao Bao ahead. She touched her chin, which resembled a melon seed,
“It’s unlikely, isn’t it? Xin Xin is so smart, and Bao Bao is so笨 (stupid). How could Xin Xin be interested in her?”
“Then I’m also that笨 (stupid)… I mean, I’m so smart, and I’m interested in someone as笨 (stupid) as you?”
“You good-for-nothing Xia Bing, I considered you a friend, and you’re trying to take advantage of me?
Get lost, get lost, get lost. I won’t fall for this. I’ll tell your mother later that you’re lusting after my peerless, unrivaled, first-of-its-kind beauty, and have her punish you.”
“Have you become this shameless now?”
Xia Yu Bing exclaimed in shock,
“Weren’t those words describing your mother just now?”
“I inherited those words.”
“Xiao Yun, if I complete the mission before you this time, will you be my girlfriend?”
“Get lost, get lost, get lost. You’re just a fourteen-year-old brat, why are you thinking about early romance all day?”
“But if I wait until I’m eighteen, won’t it be a bit too late to start dating?”
“Are you looking to get beaten up again? Brat, thinking about so many improper things all day.”
“As if you’re so old. Aren’t you only a few days older than me?”
Xia Yu Bing and Han Xiao Yun could always start arguing within a few words.
Fang Xiao Yu, who was at the very back, looked at Wan Qianxin and Bao Bao huddled together, then at Xia Yu Bing and Han Xiao Yun, her expression becoming somewhat peculiar.
Are children these days starting so early with their education? Are they already like this at such a young age? I remember…
Never mind, when I was with that guy Wan Lei, I was only sixteen or seventeen.
That beast, pfft. I was so young back then, and he didn’t let me go. This guy saw that I was young and easily deceived, and tricked me.
Hmph.
Wan Lei was unaware that Fang Xiao Yu was cursing him at this moment. Instead, based on what Wan Qianxin had said, he had come up with a plan.
Of course, it wasn’t about the Five Elements Hall or anything, but a plan that could make them instantly rich.
“Wan Qianxin, I have something to discuss with you.”
Wan Lei caught up with Wan Qianxin again, a sly smile on his lips,
“Little fellow, have you heard of the art of deception?”
